Boutique 1888 Hotel opens at Pyrmont in Sydney

A BOUTIQUE hotel has opened in a heritage building in Sydney once used for wool storage after a $30 million redevelopment.

The 1888 Hotel has been built at Pyrmont with natural materials including reclaimed iron bark, stone and bronze with exposed brick walls, a five-storey internal atrium, high ceilings and large period windows.

It will also have a twist with a revolving series of Instagram photos taken by guests at reception and is offering a free night to any Instagram users with 10,000 followers.

Each month the guest who has snapped the best Instagram picture will get a free night.

The 90-room hotel is part of the 8 Hotels Collection, which includes The Cosmopolitan in Melbourne, The Diamant in Canberra and Limes Hotel in Brisbane.
